REGISTER 4/32 MON 11 Designing Inclusive Growth: Universal Design Matthias Hollwich, AIA Beth Greenberg FAIA, Principal at Dattner Architects Van Alen Institute Designing Inclusive Growth is a monthly dialogue on the future of development in New York City. In intimate conversations with leading urbanists and thinkers, we’ll examine what’s propelling New York City’s growth and development, why some have benefited while others have been left behind, and ideas for supporting greater inclusion and shared prosperity through design. This city is home to a staggeringly diverse population -- elderly people, working families with young children, people living with physical and cognitive impairment, non-native English speakers. How well our environments serve this kaleidoscopic array of interests and needs will surely influence how inclusive our economy and society becomes in the future. For the final discussion in our Designing Inclusive Growth series, we’ll explore the potential of universal design to help people of all abilities and at all stages of life live well. With our featured guests, we’ll rethink our collective view of what’s possible for people of different abilities and ages, examine how designers can incorporate universal design principles into their practice, and imagine a city that truly provides useability, safety, health, grace, and dignity for all people. EVENT TYPE Panel discussion DATE & TIME Tuesday, June 11th | 7 – 9 PM VENUE Van Alen Institute 30 West 22nd Street, Manhattan FEE Free and open to the public REGISTER The Decorated Tenement Zachary Violette, lecturer at Parsons School of Design The Skyscraper Museum In The Decorated Tenement: How Immigrant Builders and Architects Transformed the Slum in the Gilded Age, ​ ​ historian Zachary Violette counters the standard narrative of crowded tenements and crusading urban reformers to reconstruct the role of tenement architects and builders in improving housing for the working poor. Drawing on research and fieldwork that surveyed more than 3,000 extant tenement buildings in New York and Boston, Violette uses ornament as an entry point of his study, employing both new contemporary photography and many never-before-published historical images. His work complicates the monolithic notions 5/32 of architectural taste and housing standards, while broadening our understanding of the diversity of cultural and economic positions of those responsible for shaping American architecture and urban landscapes.

Her book, Single-Handedly: Contemporary Architects Draw by Hand is an inspiring collection of 220 hand drawings by more than 40 emerging architects and well-known practitioners from around the world. Part of the generation of architects who were trained to draw both by hand and with digital tools, New York-based architect Nalina Moses recently returned to hand drawing. Finding it to be a direct, and intuitive process, she wondered whether other architects felt the same way. Single-Handedly is the result of this inquiry. ​ ​ Ms. Moses's book explores the reasons digitally-trained architects draw by hand and gives testimony to the continued vitality of hand drawing in the profession. The powerful yet intimate drawings carry larger propositions about materials, space, and construction, and each one stands on its own as a work of art.

But take a closer look at the clues visible throughout the neighborhood and you will see a history of Hell’s Kitchen that has been left out of guide books, and ignored by plaques and markers. Fading painted letters on a brick chimney reveal the former factory of one of America’s most famous candy makers. A popular family playground hides its scarred past as the scene of a senseless murder that rocked the nation and inspired a Broadway musical. From the building that gave us such iconic songs as “Imagine” and “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” to the birthplace of the hit show “Seinfeld,” surprises await intrepid explorers on every block of Hell’s Kitchen. Join preservationist and tour guide Patrick Waldo as they explore these locations and many more, delving into the rich cultural and architectural history of one of New York’s most legendary neighborhoods.

In this program, jury members from the most recent Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP) will discuss their methodology, deliberations, and decisions. The award program was founded in Chicago six years ago by the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) College of Architecture to honor architectural excellence in the Americas. The discussion will focus on the jury’s selection criteria and issues ranging from regional differences to the contributions of clients in achieving excellence to the impact of award programs. 7/32 Last year, following the selection of competition finalists, the MCHAP jury traveled to examine first-hand finalists’ projects in Brazil, Peru, Mexico, and the U.S. Jurors interviewed both architects and clients to ascertain how each project addressed form and function.

  • The Museum As Artifact by Jayne Merkel
    The Museum as Artifact by Jayne Merkel oping to recapture their days of glory, the citizens of Santiago de Compostela, in Spain’s north- Hwestern corner, have embarked on a building program even more ambitious than the one that created the magnificent 11th-century Romanesque church that awed the medieval pilgrims who flocked to the city seeking the tomb of St. James. They are now constructing an 810,000-square- foot Galician Cultural Center on a 173-acre mountaintop two miles from the historic heart of the city. The gargantuan $125- million effort signals a new age of faith, a faith whose core belief is in the power of museum architecture to attract fame, fortune, and tourists, as the spectacular Guggenheim Museum designed by Los Angeles architect Frank Gehry has done for the Basque capital of Bilbão in northeastern Spain. The form not the content matters. The $100 million, 256,000-square-foot Bilbão Guggenheim was not built to house an existing art collection. In fact, there was none. At least until the recent recession, the New York Guggenheim’s entrepreneurial director, Thomas Krens, had been establishing a chain of museums around the world (Berlin, Las Vegas, New York’s SoHo, and Venice, where the museum has long maintained Peggy Guggenheim’s villa) to exhibit the New York institution’s holdings. But architecture, not the shows, has attracted the hordes to Bilbão. Because architecture put the Guggenheim on the international map, the people of Santiago de Compostela are using architecture to do the same. After an international com- petition, they chose as their architect Peter Eisenman of New York.
